Chocaholic MLA caught out
Self-confessed chocaholic Murray Cowper MLA was recently caught out eating chocolate at Mandurah’s only premium chocolate company and cafe, Chochas.
Travis Edwards who owns Chochas with his wife Kylie-Marie Drage, says that since chocolate comes from cocoa beans it really is a vegetable – so we should be eating five a day.
Customers can view the chocolate making process and indulge in coffees after the gruelling process of deciding what chocolates to buy.
“The Chochas company is another great addition to the Mandurah hospitality and tourism industry,” Mr Cowper said.
The future of the Peel region will be built on the successes of small business ventures like this and it is important that their contribution to the growth of the area is acknowledged.”
